Religious ruling on women’s niqab prayer
The Egyptian Dar al-Ifta issued a statement regarding a woman's prayer with a niqab, clarifying that covering the awrah (parts of the body that must be concealed) during prayer is a condition for its validity. In prayer, the awrah for women includes their entire body except for the face and hands; according to the Hanafi school, the feet are also included. Covering the face with a niqab during prayer is considered disliked (makruh) unless there is a legitimate need, such as the presence of non-mahram men that prohibits revealing the face. Additionally, the statement confirmed that covering the entire body except for the face and hands is a condition for the validity of prayer, but covering the face with the niqab should only be for a religious necessity. Prayer without uncovering the face is considered valid if there is a need, and in such cases, it is deemed makruh rather than forbidden.
